Fossil Rim

This past weekend I went to Fossil Rim in Glen Rose, Texas with the Animal Husbandry Association. It was amazing. This is the only place in the world like this, literally. They have over 1000 animals and many endanger species. We went to volunteer there and did different random jobs. Me and 5 other girls worked the front gate, 3 of us at a time told people the road rules and then sent them in to pay for their tickets. One of the girls, Jillian is an amazing artist and she drew a giraffe for their volunteer Information Board. After we finished volunteering they took us on the tour and we got to feed the animals. I hand feed a giraffe and some deer. A little pet peeve...one of the rules was to toss the food away from the car but you could feed the giraffe by hand...there were tons of car feeding the zebras by hand!!! I soooo wanted them to get bit!!! Our group stayed in some cabins and we had a blast! We played some games and tried to scare each other...that was hilarious!!!!
I have come to realize I post way too many pictures so here are just a few from the trip.
